Everton boss Sean Dyche was happy with the character shown for their 2-2 draw at Leicester City on Monday night.

Everton twice came from behind to earn the point.

Dyche said: "We held our nerve, kept trying to create things and overall it's a good performance, although we didn't get the three points we were after.

"Most of the first half we were excellent. Their goalkeeper has made a couple of brilliant saves. Dom [Calvert-Lewin] missed one but looked sharper and quicker and will be a real weapon for us. His true fitness is coming back, he looks strong and alert.

"I didn't come here for a walk in the park, I knew it would be a challenge and we're at a point a game. The only crime tonight was two really soft goals but the mentality is what we want from the team."

On Seamus Coleman's injury, he added: "It's really unfortunate. We're waiting on news, it could be serious, a knee injury. I thought he was terrific."
